Olsen, master OF the bark Marie. asking that
the sum OF sos 40 expenses incurred by deten-
ton or vessel at quarantine station through
absence OF quarantine officer be paid 10 him.
Deg To report that they have investigated the
grounds upon which Capt. Olsen bases his
claim. and find that when the bark Marie ar
rived at Iybee Roads she came seeking,
ana the Captain was not aware whether
or not he could charter his vessel at
this port; that he applied to DIR. J. A. Huger,
quarantine officer, for permission personally
! to come up to the city, which was granted:
In chartering his vessel; that. therefore, of
his own volition be chartered a tug to go
down to 1ybee roads for the purpose of tow
ing his vessel up 10 the city; on his return to
the vessel at the quarantine grounds the
Captain found that DIR. Huger, the quaran-
tine officer, was absent from the station and
that ne was In the city on official business.
. The inspection of the Marie was. therefore,
necessarily DELAYED until the following day,
involving the additional expense of again
chartering the tug, and the demurrage incl
dent to one days delay, under the circum-
stances the committee are of the opinion that
the claim of Capt. Olsen should not be al
lowed, and think that he erred in cnartering
tug prior to his vessel having been inspected
by the quarantine officer. The committee,
however feel constrained to say that the
quar- antlne officer erred in granting capt.
'ilsen pernission to come up to tie city pre-
vious TO his having inspected his vessel, and
without any KNOWLEDGE whatever of it's con-
ditton. WIN. DUNCAN, M. d.
